Mmmmm lost monarch

 

[v1pe]

Been drinking a few different pours this week, but I frequently come back to this. For something that I can find at any liquor store around me, OF 1920 is amazing.

Finally picked up a bottle of that myself last night...but I'm going to have to wait to open it until I finish something else...way too many 1/4 to 1/3 full bottles in my cabinet right now!

Anyone tried the Calumet 14? I bought it without doing any research. $119.95

That's the going price, unless you find a Costco with them ( there are a few ), and then they are $99.

Worth it? The 65 user ratings at distiller.com say not really. Do report back, though.

wellers and coke to go with the steaks

Been wanting to try these out

Recently discovered Skrewball Whiskey. It’s peanut butter! It’s sweeter, like a dessert whiskey if there is such a thing. Get it as cold as possible and its actually good!

Weller Special Reserve, harder to find, buy one of my new favorites. Wheated Bourbon. It expensive at all!

I could probably not possibly be any later for this train, but I finally tried Skrewball this weekend and HOLY SHIT - this stuff if dangerously delicious. Just wow.

Got wood? Found a 2019 RC6 recently. Looking forward to a vertical tasting of this Wood Finishing Series.

Finishing up a very long but enjoyable weekend by finishing a bottle of Russells Reserve with a cuban out on the back deck. Really nice pairing

Both are pretty solid for their price points ($40 and $78), medium-short finish but definitely interesting profiles - for sure going into the rotation. The 90 proof is a great base bourbon for starting the night or for someone who isn't into higher proofs, and the store pick is really interesting imo.
i'm terrible at describing tasting notes but i do get a heavy dose of cherry cola(?) on this one vs the medicinal cherry that i get (and appreciate) with the ECBPs.

I'd be interested to know what others think on these (@Saoliver) especially the cask strength/store picks - they're not readily available in NJ and i've only come across the store pick at one store so far in NY.

Woodinville makes some good whiskey. I knocked out 3 bottles of the 90 proof early on in Covid. Tasty stuff.

I haven’t tried any of the barrel picks or full proof. But I need to. I also need to schedule a distillery tour.

Thanks for noticing. It’s blue.

Maybe the best bourbon I’ve had

Are there any wide, high quality, double wall whiskey glasses out there? I've seen Norlan, they are awfully narrow, and quality seems spotty...

 

[wolfpack]

anyone tried woodford wheated bourbon?

 

[Klobberer]

Do you mean Woodford Wheat? It's not bourbon, it's a wheat whiskey and it's very good.

So that's where all the Antique 107 been hiding. Great bottles and happy birthday.

Found a few Lost Monarchs for friends. What I don't understand is why the LM are always gone from the stores but Pipe Dream is always available. We'll have a go head to head tonight. Cheers

I think pipe dream is a bourbon and emerald giant is a rye. Lost Monarch is. bourye so probably blend of the two

On my way home from a road trip I had to stop at total wine.

Yup, I think I still like the bourey better. More complex nose and longer finish than the Pipe Dream. Although the PD might be a neck pour. I'll try again in a week or two.
